Live your dream

Have you dreamed of being in film or on stage all your life? You now have the chance to actually make your dreams a reality. What’s stopping you from making your living as a professional actor in Chicago?

You are. If your headshot doesn’t grab attention, turn heads, or stop traffic, how can you expect others to pay you any attention?

Your headshot needs to speak for you and represent your best self if you want others to take notice.

I hated my headshots that I had gotten a few months back from another photographer and couldn’t wait to get new ones. – Karri G, Chicago, IL

If you’ve been making excuses about how you can’t afford professional acting headshots, consider the amount of auditions are passing you over because you don’t look professional.

We hear it everyday from frustrated actors who waited to work with us. And everyday we help actors get back on track to getting PAID for their craft.
